Calian hit 17-straight years of profitability in the quarter with a net income of $4.3 million, roughly the same as its earnings in last year’s fourth quarter.
Chief executive Kevin Ford congratulated his staff on the successful quarter and impressive run of profitability in a statement. Noting the firm’s contracted backlog of more than $1 billion, Ford said the combination of Calian’s R&D investments and M&A strategy bode well for the company’s future.
“With 68 consecutive profitable quarters under our belt, record revenues and a very talented, passionate team committed to successful customer delivery and our own growth objectives, I am very positive on Calian’s long-term growth prospects,” he said.
Calian announced its third acquisition of the year earlier this month, buying Regina-based IntraGrain Technologies, which develops sensors to measure heat and moisture content of grain storage bins. The deal marks Calian’s first foray into the agritech market.
